over snow covered territory dangerous.
Rev. Father Berghold found this out to
his sorrow Saturday. He tried to cross
creek below Hauensteins Brewery
with team of horses attached to a pair
of "bobs''. All went well until they
were in the middle of the creek when
the horses broke through the soft snow
and almost disappeared in the snow.
When he saw the horses sink, Rev.
Berghold tried to jump to the shore but
he did not quite reach it and sank down
in the snow to his waist. Employees of
Hauensteins Brewery noticed the acci-
dent and rescued the team and driver.
